Cooler Side
E♭ major~152 BPM4/44:00Coastal DriftSomewhere Past Midnightmedium confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in D and it sounds in E♭ major. Much easier than fingering E♭ major straight.
Verse 1
2 AM, clock face dim
Pillow flipped to the cool again
Half a dream, half a thought
Not enough to call it caught
Ceiling fan keeps the count
Window cracked, the light just out
Streetlamp combing through the blinds
Drawing soft and slow lines
Pre-Chorus
Pillow flip, cool found
Whole house quiet, whole street down
Chorus
On the cooler side tonight
Slow turn, soft white
Sheets cool, mind low
This is where I go
Cooler side, cooler hour
Where the dark gets quiet and slow
Whole house breathing low
Nothing I gotta know
Verse 2
3 AM, fan still ticks
Warm spot where the cat sleep sits
Sip of water, cool the throat
Set the glass down on the floor
Ice maker drops a slow click
House settles, pipes pick
Nothing knocking, nothing missed
Just the quiet doing its trick
Pre-Chorus
Slow turn, slow breath
Nowhere to be but the next inch left
Chorus
On the cooler side tonight
Slow turn, soft white
Sheets cool, mind low
This is where I go
Cooler side, cooler hour
Where the dark gets quiet and slow
Whole house breathing low
Nothing I gotta know
Bridge
Could get up
Could check the time
Could think about the day behind
Could but won't
Won't but could
Cool side better than the should
Final Chorus
On the cooler side tonight
Slow turn, soft white
Sheets cool, mind low
This is where I go
Cooler side, cooler hour
Where the dark gets quiet and slow
Whole house breathing low
Nothing I gotta know
Outro
Cooler side…
Cooler hour…
This is where I go…

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
